Cut yarn and bind off, weave in excess yarn with tapestry needle.
Finishing Off
Place the headband down on a table and fold in half to line up stockinette sections. Take the tapestry needle with a piece of yarn, work yarn through both sides (at the intersection of the double seed st and stockinette and pull together to cinch. Tie a knot underneath the headband and weave in ends. Tie the two ends of stockinette into a knot and pull tightly
